Dear Sugar
I have always had long, thick, frizzy, shapeless hair that has hovered somewhere between wavy and curly. A few months ago, I got my hair cut into a very cute, choppy, shaggy, shoulder-length do with bangs and layers.

Since it was shorter, it didn't take me long to blow my hair out straight, and for the first time in my life, I absolutely LOVED my hair.

And then the summer came. As usual, it's been hot and humid in the northeast, with rain almost every day, and my hair is paying the price. No matter what I do, it's coarse and frizzy again, but it's too short to put in a ponytail now.

Even worse, because my hair is much shorter, it puffs out in all directions. I try to load it with product but then it just looks frizzy and greasy.

I'm going to have to let it grow out again so that I can do the ponytail thing by August, but, in the meantime, do you know of any miracle products that will reduce the frizz in my hair but won't leave it looking greasy? Phrizzy In Philly

Dear Phrizzy In Philly
If you have thick, frizzy hair, try using Aqua Oleum Shampoo.

It's made by Kerastase (orange line) and

Age Recharge Conditioner (green line).

Also, apply Bumble and Bumble's Styling Lotion

and Tonic

straight out of the shower while you hair is still very wet.

Try and shampoo your hair every second or third day. Frizzy hair tends to be dry, so make sure that you choose a creamy shampoo with gentle detergents. If at all possible, just blow dry the front of your hair. If it's frizzy, the heat from the blow drying is only going to add to the problem.

Look for conditioners containing silicones and proteins to coat the cuticles and reduce frizz. You can also use a leave in conditioner if your hair is still frizzing.

While your hair is in its strange growing out phase right now, try some cute hair accessories like these:
